2018 Skoda Superb 2.0L Petrol · DF18 RYZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in consumable upkeep standards. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 68,524 miles passed without failures, the tester flagged the nearside rear tyre for cracking and perishing. This follows a more problematic report in August 2025 where multiple tyre issues were noted, including a cut on the nearside front and significant uneven wear on the offside front tyre. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old Superb, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. The record shows a period of low activity between May 2023 and May 2024, where only 6,000 miles were covered in twelve months. However, the significant surge of nearly 30,000 miles between August 2024 and April 2026 indicates a recent shift to high-frequency usage, which likely accounts for the accelerated wear and tear observed on rubber-based components and braking systems. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the remaining tyres, as the history of recurring cracking and uneven wear suggests potential alignment issues or neglect of basic maintenance schedules. The offside front tyre wear noted in 2025 warrants a specific check of the front suspension bushes and control arms for premature degradation. Given the lack of structural defects or mechanical failures in the record, the primary focus remains on the state of the consumables and the integrity of the suspension geometry following the recent spike in mileage accumulation.
